Faith in action is LOVE 鈥� and love in action is SERVICE.
~ St. Teresa of Calcutta
HCDSB recognizes that parents, guardians and community members offer valuable support to staff in providing learning opportunities for students, assisting in the daily operations of schools, and helping students realize the gifts they have been granted by our Creator God.
Volunteers model caring and cooperative relationships, promote Catholic values and encourage a safe, inclusive, and secure learning and working environment.
